No full textThis report aims to cover the projects carried out by the author during his 22 week Industrial Attachment at Pratt & Whitney Services. The author was part of the Rotating Air Seal repair development team. He assisted in the Repair Process Launch Review preparation, which entails evaluating technical data, identifying critical to quality key product characteristics, evaulating capital requirements, identification of tooling requirements and creating summary of operations
Juvenalia, or How I came to own a Blu-Ray of Point Break
No full textAgony Klub and Publication Studio Vancouver are pleased to present Whitney Houston, vol. 2. A continuation of Whitney Houston, et. al., editor/author Casey Wei invites six writers to reflect on their relationship to popular music in film, keeping in mind that popular music has always been as much about the desire for an image as about the catchiness of a song. The resulting essays on Elliot Smith, Amélie, Real Genius, The Pixies, Drive, and The Conversation explore themes of time, love, and evolution.final article publishedReal Genius (1985

Whitney Twins, Whitney Duals, and Operadic Partition Posets
No full textWe say that a pair of nonnegative integer sequences is Whitney-realizable if there exists a poset for
which (the absolute values) of the Whitney numbers of the first and second kind
are given by the numbers and respectively. The pair is said to be
Whitney-dualizable if, in addition, there exists another poset for which
their Whitney numbers of the first and second kind are instead given by
and respectively. In this case, we say that and are Whitney
duals. We use results on Whitney duality, recently developed by the first two
authors, to exhibit a family of sequences which allows for multiple
realizations and Whitney-dual realizations. More precisely, we study edge
labelings for the families of posets of pointed partitions
and weighted partitions which are associated to the operads
and respectively. The first author and Wachs
proved that these two families of posets share the same pair of Whitney
numbers. We find EW-labelings for and and use
them to show that they also share multiple nonisomorphic Whitney dual posets.
In addition to EW-labelings, we also find two new EL-labelings for
answering a question of Chapoton and Vallette. Using these
EL-labelings of , and an EL-labeling of introduced by
the first author and Wachs, we give combinatorial descriptions of bases for the
operads and . We
also show that the bases for and are PBW
bases.Comment: 37 pages, 20 figure
Mechanism of Injury
No full textCauses of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury during thyroidectomy are varied, with most injuries resulting from the following surgical errors: sectioning of the nerve, ligation, traction, clamping injury, suction, compression, contusion, electrical and thermal injury. Surgeons underestimate the actual rate of RLN injury. Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) during thyroidectomy, parathyroidectomy, or related central neck procedures can elucidate actual or potential mechanisms of RLN injury that were previously unknown to the thyroid surgeon, especially in visually intact nerves. IONM is useful in open conventional thyroid surgery for localizing the point of disrupted nerve conduction in addition to identifying how and when the RLN was injured. Studying the mechanisms of RLN injury during thyroidectomy is instructive for future operations and may allow for identification of potentially reversible causes of RLN injury. During thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy, intraoperative RLN injury is typically associated with a visually intact RLN rather than a transected nerve. The anterior motor branch of a RLN bifurcating near the ligament of Berry is particularly at risk of traction injury. Traction injury is the most frequent cause of postoperative vocal cord palsy
